About this happenin
Tampa Bay Comic Convention takes over the Tampa Convention Center for three days of celebrity guests, artist alley, cosplay and a sprawling vendor floor. What started as a one-day show has grown into one of Florida's biggest pop culture weekends, pulling tens of thousands into downtown Tampa. Panels run in a dozen rooms at once, and the schedule stretches past comics to anime screenings, wrestling, tabletop and video gaming, a maid cafe, fan meetups and a cosplay contest, with autographs and photo ops on Celebrity Row. Know before you go: passes are sold as three-day multipasses, with Ruby and VIP tiers adding early vendor floor entry, reserved panel seating and express lines, and buying ahead beats the door price. Children 10 and under are free with a paying adult. Every attendee has to stop at registration for a wristband first. The vendor floor opens around midday on Friday and late morning on Saturday and Sunday. Four downtown garages sit within a short walk; bring cash for autographs and shoes you can stand in all day.
